Considering they are using deepfake videos to provide fake celebrity endorsements, I would say that AI is certainly a big component.

You could also say electricity or copper is a large component of it but I would argue that it’s really just another tool being used to fleece victims. I don’t feel the issue here is AI or is even largely exacerbated by AI. There are no ramifications to the people that are behind the scams. That’s the real problem.
